The second day of the 2011/12 Premier League season sees two of the main title contenders in action. The new Chelsea boss, Andre Villas-Boas, has a tough first competitive assignment at the Britannia Stadium, to take on Tony Pulis’ Stoke City. Following that, the reigning Champions Manchester United are also on the road, with The Baggies waiting for them at The Hawthorns.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business as usual, so come in, take a seat and hope we see an improvement on yesterday’s events (both before and during the games)…

News from the Britannia has filtered through, and there’s a debut for Stoke City centre-back Jonathan Woodgate. He plays in a 4-4-2 that sees Jon Walters partner Kenwyne Jones up front.

For the visitors, Fernando Torres is passed fit and plays at the expense of Didier Drogba. The Spaniard is flanked by Florent Malouda and Salomon Kalou.

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

    I would have Orr coming in for Drogs, so even 10mins on pitch for the big man would be desirable.

    Afternoon.

    Just in now, havent seen any football just saw the team.

    Was Lampard unlucky not to have any pens so far or was that just rubbish?

    How is he playing?

      One pen is very debatable. Could have gone either way, really. Halsey has been pro-Stoke, there's no denying it.

      He's doing ok. Not particularly deep as feared and it was never a penalty. Just a REALLY good dive.

      There was contact but he was already on his way down Rooney/Gerrard style.

      Lampard looking a bit static, he's playing pretty advanced though.

      Bosingwa the only player standing out really.

      should've played Drogba.
